Police say they were notified that William Iasigi, 21, of Liberty Miss., was struck on La. 43 shortly before 5 a.m. He was taken to the hospital where he later died, police say.

Iasigi was driving a 2008 Chevrolet truck and stopped in the lane of travel on La. 43 southbound, just north of Greensburg, according to police.

Police say Iasigi exited the truck and a vehicle struck him and the open door of the truck.

His passenger, Jarrett Wilson, 23, of Osyka, Miss., and a pedestrian that was at the scene of the crash took Iasigi to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Troopers collected evidence and believe the hit-and-run vehicle is a light-colored, possibly white or silver, Chevrolet or GMC truck. The vehicle is missing the driver’s side view mirror assembly and may have more damage in the front and passenger side.

Anyone with information is asked to call Louisiana State Police Troop L at 985-893-6250.
